THE DETROIT 'JEWISH NEWS
Russian Defector to Play
With DSO Next Weekend
JDC Assembly Set for NY
NEW YORK — The an-
nual meeting of the Ameri-
can Jewish Joint Distribu-
tion Committee (JDC), the
66th in the long history of
the esteemed social service
agency will take place Dec.
9 in New York City.
Some years ago I attended
a concert by the brilliant
young violinist Gidon Kre-
mer in Vienna. I went back-
stage to express to him my
delight about the thrilling
performance.
In an almost perfect Ger-
man, which is unusual for a
Soviet artist, he told me
that he was born in Riga,
Latvia in 1947 and has been
a master student of the in-
comparable David Ois-
trakh.
Afterwards I met him
often after concerts in
Salzburg, Munich and
again in Vienna and was
always touched by his mod-
esty and politeness. He
could leave Russia only
with special and limited
exit permits. The fees he
earned, and they became
quite considerable, had to
be sent directly to the Rus-
sian State Agency of Cul-
ture.
When I asked his Vien-
nese representative
whether he would appear
in the U.S. for Jewish
audiences, she answered,
"Maybe later." I thought
of bringing him to the at-
tention of leading Jewish
organizations.
In the meantime, Kremer
became one of the foremost
violinists of our time, as
recognized and appreciated
as Yitzhak Perlman and
Pinhas Zukerman.

NEW YORK — Zionist
Organization of America
President Ivan J. Novick
paid tribute to the late Dr.
Emanuel Neumann, twice
president of ZOA, a former
chairman of the World
Zionist Organization,
American Section and past
president and founder of the
World Union of General
Zionists, who died last
month.
In a message to ZOA
members, American and
world Jewry, Novick said:
"Dr. Neumann played a
major role in every aspect of
Zionist life in the pre-state
days of the British mandate.
He was the architect of the
complex strategy that was
victorious on the political
front and thus brought
about the restoration of
Zion in our day. As he him-
self noted, Dr. Neumann
was one of the actors in the
historic Zionist drama.
"For more than 25
years, Dr. Neumann, to-
gether with the revered
statesman Dr. Abba
Hillel Silver and other
Zionist leaders, repre-
sented the Jewish com-
munity in international
negotiations as well as in

about 30 countries and par-
ticipated in most of the
major music festivals. He
has played with the sym-
phony orchestras in Lon-
don, Vienna, Salzburg, Be-
rlin, Israel, Boston, San
Francisco, Los Angeles, To-
kyo, and with all the great

Some months ago he de-

turn. He asked for political
asylum in Germany, where
his parents have lived for
the past several years.
Kremer is married. His wife
Elena, 22, is his piano ac-
companist.
Kremer will be the sol-
oist of the Detroit Sym-

He plays a violin made by

erited from his

Riga.

discussions with U.S.
government and Ameri-
can political leaders. It
was Dr. Neumann who
was the author of the
numerous political
treatise and documents
which forged concise
analyses of the right of
the Jewish people to its
own homeland in the
Land of Israel."
He added "whether it was
in the United Nations, be-
fore congressional commit-
tees, with the State De-
partment, or in private
meetings, Emanuel
Neumann with his brilliant
analytical mind was the
spokesperson of the Zionist
movement . . .
"Dr. Neumann left an in-
delible mark on the Ameri-
can and World Zionst
movement, especially in his
writings which will live on,"
said Novick.
